Analysis of Summer Rain



The gentle summer rain
Is here once again.
Falling graciously to the ground,
Not emitting a sound.
It feels like pieces of wispy lace,
Softly tickling my face.
The tiny raindrops on the leaves and flowers
Glitter in the sunlight for hours and hours.
It is by far a magnificent sight
Like little gemstones shining bright.
I love this gentle summer rain
& I'm glad that it is here again
